Chapter 1734: Chapter 629: The Female Lead Who Was Reversed (18)

"You are Xu Changsheng, right? From Xujiaping?"

Ji Xiang left, and although Xu Changsheng had many speculations in his heart, life had to go on.

He still went hunting in the mountains every day, selling three-quarters of his prey in town or at the County, and taking a quarter home.

Xu Changsheng didn’t want to take it home either, as it meant providing for Scabies Xu’s family of four.

However, Scabies Xu was too shameless; if Xu Changsheng resisted slightly, he would threaten to report him to the county government for defying his elders!

In these times, defying one’s elders was a serious crime, and parents’ complaints were practically guaranteed to succeed.

Of course, Xu Changsheng could secretly leave once and for all.

But in the past, Xu Changsheng didn’t have enough money to dare leave easily.

And now, he had another reason to "wait," so he had to continue staying at Xujiaping, feigning compliance with Scabies Xu’s family!

That day, Xu Changsheng hunted a wild deer, knowing that such things were favored by the wealthy.

So he didn’t go to town, but directly headed to the County instead.

On the official road to the County, Xu Changsheng "chanced upon" a finely dressed young woman.

She seemed to recognize Xu Changsheng and greeted him warmly from afar.

Xu Changsheng paused, carefully observing her, "Who are you?"

She looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t clearly recall her in his memory.

"My name is He Yingying, from He Family Village!"

"My wet nurse’s family name is Li, and a sister married into your Xujiaping!"

"As a child, I followed my wet nurse to visit relatives and have been to Xujiaping!"

"I remember you seemed to live next door to my aunt’s place..."

He Yingying had been extremely busy lately.

Selling the hot pot shop and auctioning off the secret recipe for the broth.

After ten days of commotion, Granny Li and the entire second branch were taken away, marking the end of He Yingying’s busy period.

After finishing up, she didn’t take a breath and began executing another plan of hers.

However, the execution of this plan came with some twists and turns.

He Yingying couldn’t just rush up to Xu Changsheng and do this and that with him.

After reading the original script and being familiar with the plot, He Yingying knew that while Xu Changsheng appeared to be an ordinary hunter, he was exceptionally perceptive and alert.

If she acted too deliberately, the other party would not only fail to develop any feelings for her but would also become suspicious.

He Yingying didn’t want to overreach.

Thus, her interaction with Xu Changsheng had to be a coincidence.

Thanks to a "chance encounter," He Yingying slowly started to get acquainted with Xu Changsheng, and after some time, things naturally fell into place!

In recent days, He Yingying had been planning to have a chance encounter with Xu Changsheng.

However, his whereabouts were unpredictable, and He Yingying didn’t dare to send someone to track him, so she had to rely on his habits, either waiting in town or wandering around the official road to the County.

After several days of trying, today, she finally met him.

"My aunt is Second Sister Li, and by kinship, you should call her Third Aunt!"

He Yingying chattered on, not only introducing her identity but eagerly trying to connect herself with Xu Changsheng.

Xu Changsheng: ...

This girl is way too enthusiastic.

If it were in the past, Xu Changsheng wouldn’t have thought much of it.

But after experiencing Ji Xiang’s abnormal focus on him, Xu Changsheng suspected he might have another identity, making him more wary.

Of course, Xu Changsheng himself knew his mindset wasn’t quite right.

Ji Xiang "recognized" him because she came from the Capital City and might have seen a certain person.

As for this He Yingying, despite being very prominent recently, she was just a somewhat capable village girl.

The furthest place she had been was likely the Prefecture City.

She hadn’t even left her province, let alone been to the Capital City.

So, she shouldn’t have met that person and probably wouldn’t realize there was anything unusual about Xu Changsheng’s background.

Since she didn’t know these things, she wouldn’t need to flatter him deliberately.

"Perhaps it’s just her nature!"

"Oh, by the way, this girl opened shops in the County and Prefecture City, greeting customers daily, which cultivated her friendly and hospitable habit!"

Xu Changsheng comforted himself in this way.

However, he didn’t even notice the slight wariness that had crept into his heart towards He Yingying.

Thus, when He Yingying kept finding opportunities to interact with him, portraying a kind and lovely image to try to redeem him—a pitiful person mistreated by his parents—Xu Changsheng’s first reaction wasn’t to be moved or grateful, but suspicious!
